Ioannina, Greece - Vandals attacked a Jewish cemetery in western Greece, damaging at least six graves, the majority of them beyond repair, regional authorities said today.

The vandals appeared to have scaled the walls of the cemetery in Ioannina, western Greece, to knock over and break grave stones, including the cemetery's main memorial.

The vandals then proceeded to cover them with blood using a recently killed turtle.

Ioannina's Frontozo cemetery is cared for by the city's small Jewish community.

There were two other attacks against the cemetery in January and March, Jewish community leaders said.

The youth in Greece have been running wild since December of 2008 when the police shot and killed a 15 year old Greek boy. Since then, these vandals have been throwing firebombs at police stations and banks and against the Jews...of course, the haters always find some way to show their hate of the Jewish people. This has been happening all over Greece, not just in this town.

You make it sound like it was the police's fault. The little thug was shot while throwing a firebomb at a police car.
